The fact that this 45-day spending bill doesn\u2019t contain the drastic and damaging cuts sought by fringe members is a welcome reality check.\n\n\u201cAlthough I would have preferred that the provision providing funding for Ukraine\u2019s fight against Putin\u2019s aggression have remained in the bill, its removal by the House Republicans should not be seen as representing a meaningful shift in the overwhelming bipartisan support for Ukraine \u2014 both now and in the future.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:37:48Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.king.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/king-votes-to-avoid-government-shutdown-through-short-term-funding-agreement"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.980862881988287, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
